Entice him

Judges 16:4-5 kjv.  "And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver." The job of Delilah was To Entice him just as it is with the devil. Samson was an anointed and powerful man of God. He killed thousands of Philistines with a jawbone of a donkey. He was a man that walked under the power of the Holy Spirit, but had a problem with his own flesh that he could not control. The devil knew this was his weakness, so the enemy asked Delilah to entice (seduce) him to see where his strength laid. The devil knows where our strength lies, but the problem with Samson is he took his eyes off the source of his strength, Which is in God. He played with the enemy and got caught in the web of sin and the fulfillment of his flesh.  James 1:14-15 kjv.  "But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death." There's no way out of sin, even for Samson, but through God. And there is no way out for you and I, except through the Grace of God and the Blood of Jesus. Don't let the enemy entice you today. Run to Jesus and praise Him.
